Chapter 462: Ambush Breaker

Since the arrangement has been made, Shi Bin is no longer worried, and he is relieved. At this time, he felt the freshness of the air, the beauty of the clouds and the wonder of nature.

However, Shi Bin was also aware of his own shortcomings, and he fought too smoothly and almost never suffered a loss, which caused him to be easily restless when he was ambushed, and he couldn't calm down and think about the problem. If it weren't for the annoying bird's doing, he probably wouldn't have figured out where the Yuan people were hiding.

Li Tingzhi had already sent someone to deliver the news, and he was ready to wait for Shi Bin's order.

At this time, Xu Feng walked up to Shi Bin and said, "Dashuai, there is something I want to discuss with Dashuai. ”

Seeing that Xu Feng said that there was something to discuss, Shi Bin was of course happy to discuss with him, and now he is his own small think tank. Tell him what he thinks at once.

"Marshal, now that we are focusing on attacking Taiyuan, and there are a lot of ambushes around, do the three thousand men and horses in the direction of Luliang think they can be transferred back as foreign aid?"

The three thousand men and horses transferred back to Luliang? This is a difficult problem to choose, as long as he bears the ambush soldiers in Taiyuan, Lu Liang will not be able to escape the fate of being attacked. With these 3,000 people, Lu Liang will definitely be able to go down in one go, if there are no 5,000 people, I'm afraid Lu Wende will have to work a lot harder.

If the more than 70,000 people who do not transfer back 3,000 people and Ma Shibin will be more dangerous, but it will definitely not affect the overall situation. After being transferred back, there is one more reinforcement on the periphery, and the danger will be one point less, but it will not affect the overall situation.

In terms of the overall situation, it is right not to transfer back 3,000 people, but in terms of self-interest, it is right to transfer back. This kind of multiple-choice question made Shi Bin feel a little uncomfortable.

Knowing why Shi Bin hesitated, Xu Feng said: "Marshal, with all due respect, the emperor must want to get rid of you now, and you shouldn't fight so hard for his Zhao family." Instead, they should use this battle to occupy this Taiyuan City, Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi will be obedient, and if they are disobedient, they will be eliminated. So the first thing to do is to preserve the strength. ”

Preserve strength? It must be admitted that Xu Feng's words are very reasonable. Half of the 80,000 soldiers and horses brought this time were his own men, and it would be a great loss if they all died under this Taiyuan city. In order to preserve his strength just in case, he used Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi's men as cannon fodder.

In the end, he had no choice but to say: "Secretly transfer Lu Liang's 3,000 men and horses to a place one hundred and fifty miles south of Taiyuan City, and as for the attack, listen to my orders before acting." Then use more soldiers and horses to attack Taiyuan with Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi's subordinates, and let them give at least seventy percent. ”

Hearing Shi Bin's order, Xu Feng was overjoyed, and he was very happy that he could be as good as a stream, and did not sacrifice the interests of his own department because he lamented the hardships of the common people.

"Tell me about when Ashu will attack us?" Shi Bin asked.

"I think that Ah Shu will kill us at the height of our siege, and most of them will be in the afternoon, and it may be in the early morning."

"And when is the siege at its most intense?" Shi Bin asked again, "This attack is in waves, how many waves?" ”

This question can be regarded as stopping Xu Feng. He Xu Feng is not a roundworm in Ah Shu's stomach, and he can't tell when Ah Shu thinks the siege is the most intense, after all, everyone thinks differently. So he had to confess to Shi Bin, saying that he was too shallow to answer such a profound question.

Looking at Xu Feng with a smile, Shi Bin said, "Only a shallow learner? Xu Feng, you are indeed a shallow learner but very smart. I think this kind of problem may not be able to say accurately, haha

Ha. Don't be so nervous, I haven't figured out any good ways to deal with it myself. ”

didn't come up with a way to come, but Shi Bin was in the mood to laugh, which was completely different from the previous sad face, and the two of them did it at all. After laughing, he took a breath, turned his head to look at Xu Feng, who was looking at him suspiciously, he didn't expect Xu Feng to look like this at first, but after thinking about it, he understood. So he smiled and said: "Xu Feng, do you feel that the difference between me and before me is too big for you to understand?" ”

I didn't dare to nod, but I wanted to nod again. Afraid of angering Shi Bin, Xu Feng had no choice but to lower his head and turn his eyes vigorously, hoping to come up with a suitable answer.

"Don't worry, I'm not crazy. Before, I was sad because I didn't want so many people to die, but now I just feel that you are too cautious. As if I was some kind of monster, it would not be an exaggeration to describe you as timid in front of me. Shi Bin shook his head helplessly and said.

"Dashuai, I am your subordinate, you must be careful in handling things, otherwise you will make a big mistake and die in a humble position."

"Okay, okay, you just keep cautious." Shi Bin smiled helplessly, "I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves, how do you say we can make this guy's ambush appear as soon as possible?" ”

Let Ashu's ambush show up as soon as possible? In Xu Feng's opinion, the best way is to lure the snake out of the hole, but he doesn't know how to lure this poisonous snake.

"Dashuai, I think it would be best if we could lure the snake out of the hole, so that we will have a lot less time to be vigilant, and we won't be so tired." Xu Feng immediately said what he thought in his heart.

Luring the snake out of the hole? Shi Bin thinks it's good. But when will this poisonous snake come out of the hole? It's best to do it according to your own arrangement, even if it's not exactly your own arrangement.

"You said before that when our army and the Taiyuan defenders were at their most intense, he would suddenly kill, right?" Shi Bin asked.

"Yes. And most of the time when our army was exhausted. ”

"Okay, then fight him when the battle is at its highest." Shi Bin said viciously.

Of course, he didn't think that Shi Bin would be stupid enough to fight hard with Ah Shu, most of them thought of some good plan in his heart, so Xu Feng didn't speak and let Shi Bin think alone.

"Do you say that when you arrange the troops later, it is better to put my soldiers and horses on the periphery, or Chen Yan and their soldiers and horses on the periphery?" Shi Bin suddenly asked.

Of course, the more compact the march and the better, if the troops are not enough, they must be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and they can never be tight on the outside and loose on the inside, so they will collapse at the touch of a button. So of course, it is right to put the ragtag army of Chen Yan and his gang on the periphery.

But Shi Bin would never ask such a mentally retarded question, there must be a deep meaning in it, Xu Feng did not answer immediately but lowered his head and thought about it.

It didn't take long for Xu Feng to think of one of these aspects, and said, "The marshal wants to put Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi's army outside the camp to resist the attack of the Yuan people, and take this opportunity to weaken their strength in the army?" ”

"It's just secondary." Shi Bin said lightly.

And the main one? If it is the main one, it must be related to the lure of the snake out of the hole just discussed, Xu Feng is very sure.

"It seems that the marshal wants to set up a suspicious formation, so that Ah Shu can see the powerless appearance of Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi's soldiers and horses to lead him to attack." Xu Feng said with almost certainty.

"Yes, hehe." Shi Bin said with a smile.

Xu Feng admired this strategy very much, and it was typical to kill two birds with one stone. It not only weakened the strength of Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi, but also weakened the strength of the Taiyuan defenders, while Shi Bin only sacrificed a small number of men.

The method is a good way, but Xu Feng immediately raised a very realistic question, Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi would not be so stupid to let Shi Bin slaughter and weaken their strength. And

It is also necessary to prevent their soldiers and horses from being too bad, and after they disperse, they will disrupt Shi Bin's position.

"It makes sense, it seems that they can't send their people to death for wishful thinking. We have to send some of our men to defend together, just like in a siege. Shi Bin nodded and said, "It's just that it's useless for our people to go too little, and it's a loss to go too much, so it should be enough to send five thousand people to the periphery." The problem is that 5,000 centaurs is not a small number, and Ah Shu will find these people as long as he is a little more careful, and he will delay the attack. ”

This time, Xu Feng was not bad, and immediately came up with a good way to hide from Ah Shu: let Shi Bin's 5,000 subordinates change into the clothes, ordnance, and armor of Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi's army, and make a fool of the truth.

Such a good strategy, Shi Bin of course accepted it, even if the military order was issued, and after arranging these, he was completely relieved, and launched the attack order without saying a word.

Under the fierce offensive of the Song army, Taiyuan City was in danger, and Ah Shu was very anxious in the city, because he was afraid that his army lying in ambush outside the city would be broken before he could launch a surprise attack. After all, it was his nemesis of Dayuan who commanded the battle under the city, Shi Bin.

After three days of continuous attack, the corpses of Taiyuan City were all over the field. After resting for half a day, Shi Bin ordered the Song army to launch another surprise attack in the middle of the night, in which the city gate changed hands several times, if it was not for Ah Shu cautiously sent enough troops to defend, Taiyuan City would have been breached.

By the tenth day of the attack, the Song army was visibly tired, and the attack was not so sharp. The Song army suffered no less than 8,000 casualties, but no less than 3,000 Yuan people in the city were killed or wounded.

As the saying goes, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion. Now that the Song army's offensive has declined, Ah Shu feels much more comfortable and begins to plan to launch an ambush.

Shi Bin also sensed that Ah Shu would launch an attack in the next few days, so he summoned Chen Yan and Li Tingzhi into the tent to discuss.

"Two adults, now that my first wave of offensive has passed, and Taiyuan City has not been breached, do you say that the Ah Shu in the city will continue to retreat in the city and wait for me to attack after the second wave of offensive has passed, or will I attack just these days?" Shi Bin asked.

This time, the two said in unison: "Just these few days." ”

"Why?"

"Marshal, it is impossible for the ambush soldiers to bring too much grain and grass, and it has been more than half a month since our army broke through Yulin, so I think that the Yuan people will launch a surprise attack on my battalion when my second wave of attacks is the most intense." Chen Yan said with certainty.

"A surprise attack when the second wave of attacks is at its most intense? Reasonably, this is a very high possibility. I've sent 5,000 men to change into the clothes of your men, you know that, right? Shi Bin asked.

"I know, the lowly position and Lord Chen's soldiers and horses are not well trained, after all, laziness is the most suitable bait. The commander sent 5,000 men in to stabilize his position. Li Tingzhi said.

"I have already transferred the 3,000 men and horses attacking Lüliang to a hundred and fifty miles to the south, plus the 15,000 people you have, Master Li, and our ambush troops also have 18,000 people. Ben Shuai really wanted to see who attacked whom at that time. Shi Bin said with a gloomy smile.

Both of them were very happy when they heard this, because such an arrangement was absolutely foolproof. Then they went back to each battalion and waited for Shi Bin's order.

Sure enough, as Chen Yan said, Ah Shu launched a surprise attack when the second wave of the Song army's attack was at its most intense, but unfortunately the 20,000 horses that launched the surprise attack were flanked by the Song army from the three directions of Daying, Luliang and Hedong Daying, but the battle was broken in half a day.

20,000 horses were beaten to only more than 6,000 people, and they fled into Taiyuan in panic to pick up a life. Such a result made Ah Shu angry and fainted.
